Practice reading with a friend the following short dialogues.
Dialogue 1
Diana : Don’t you think that insects cause more problems to us?
Andre : No. Not all insects cause problems. Many are useful.
Diana : How can you say that, Andre?
Andre : Bees for example give us honey. Remember Diana?
Diana : You are right, Andre.
Dialogue 2
Sari : I believe Jakarta is hotter than Pontianak
Firdaus : No, that’s surely wrong, Sari. Pontianak is closer to the equator.
Sari : You are right, Firdaus. And I am sure Pontianak is more humid, too.
Firdaus : I’m sorry, but I have to disagree on your last point.
Dialogue 3
Dadang : Can you recommend any interesting places in North Sumatra, please?
Ucok : Sure. Lake Toba is certainly one good place to visit you should not miss.
Dadang : How can I get there from Medan?
Ucok : Well, you can take a bus. It’s about 4 hours.
Dadang : Really? What does it offer?
Ucok : Well, you can go fishing, rowing or swimming. Besides, the scenery is so wonderful.
Dadang : Thanks for your advice. I’ll think it over.
